Waffenruhe is a collection of works by Germany's leading photographer, Michael Schmidt (1945-2014). Despite being a little-known writer only to photographers, Schmidt is remarkable at present because his work is outstanding. Based on the complex (political) background of "Berlin", Schmidt always creates works based on elements such as "city", "politics", "state", and "nation" and "identity". I was continuing. This book is a masterpiece published in 1987, and is one of the most important titles in German photographic history in the 20th century. Before the merger of East and West Germany, a dark city such as "break" or "absence" was depicted in black and white. A new style of mixing topography-like elements such as Hitoshi Tsukiji, Louis Boltz, and John Gossage, with a graffiti such as Aaron Siskind, and a portrait of a young man who recalls subculture. A very meaningful book that shows a new way to present photos. This is a reprint published in 2018 for the first time in 30 years.
